Who Should I Start? Darnell Mooney or Xavier Legette

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney will look to get involved in the offense on Sunday in Berlin, Germany, after registering his third one-catch performance in his last four games last week. There isn't much working in the 28-year-old's favor, however, as he's become an afterthought with Drake London (29.5 percent), Kyle Pitts Sr. (20.7), and Bijan Robinson (19.9) gobbling up most of the targets, leaving Mooney with just 10.3 percent of the team's target share this season, which hasn't been helped by the fact that he's missed two games due to injury. On the other hand, the Colts have allowed the fourth-most passing yards per game over the last three weeks (268.7), and although they recently acquired Sauce Gardner, the 25-year-old cornerback will likely see more of Drake London, which could open things up a bit for Mooney. Be that as it may, the veteran wideout projects as only a WR4/Flex play in Week 10.

Xavier Legette may have increased involvement in the passing game in this week's matchup against the Saints in Week 10. The Carolina WR was a non-factor last week against the Green Bay Packers, only logging one reception for 22 yards. Tetairoa McMillan was limited in Friday's practice with a hamstring injury and is questionable to start in Week 10. The rookie has been the Panthers' top receiver this season with 12.1 PPR Fantasy Points Per Game. If McMillan misses Sunday's game, Legette is likely to move up on the depth chart and become one of Bryce Young's top targets. Although Legette has not been productive for fantasy players this season, there was one notable exception: Week 7 against the Jets. In that game, Legette was the top receiver targeted as he had nine receptions for 92 yards, one receiving touchdown, and recorded 24.2 PPR fantasy points. So it is possible he could provide more fantasy production in an expanded role. Monitor McMillan's status before Sunday's game, and if he is out, consider Legette as a deeper flex play for Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints.
